The camp antidotes the charac- ter -weakening effect of the many la bar -saying conveniences of the town and city of today, , and teaches • some- thing or the self-reliance of our pioneer Canadian. forefathers. 4 True Value and "Mental Muscle.", To suni up, in an age of much drift- ing and loose r thinking, winch lack of ,reverence and respect among young g people, the Scout camp helps the, boy to.develop a sense of true values. Often your : camping Scout. will, be compelled to•act entirely on' his own', n . following trail signs, map reading and making, preparing 'a meal without utensil's. During his First Class jour- ney, if he is ready' for that, he will face "a whole catalogue of tests which develop "mental muscle" 'and a' ca- pacity for original thinking and gen- eral self-reliance.. As to Health. There is .no place !where boys have less sickness and where general health is so much •inproved. " The clean, pure air, rattan -bright' sun by day and dewwashed breezes. at night, daily games, swimming and. other water sports, all pyoperly supervised, whet appetites for plain, wholesome, food. Regular hours for sleep and early rising also contribute to health and the joyof living which keeps boys growing and well. Thrift is -Taught. Thrift ft is' taught in 'preparation _for g camp through the. earning- and Saving,. of the funds necessary. In camp many Scouts first learn the real value of gurney; through the strict regulation of the amount which may be spent each day for candy or other luxuries, if these are ,available; and 'in an in- creasing number . of well conducted camps, particularly the larger camps, a camp bank teaches every Scout how to handle a bank account. The fact that every day living costs somebody cash, is brought home to the boy when the per -areal and per -day costs of the camp are being worked out. Rabbits As Food. Rabbits, are much easier-: to dress than chickens 2nd• in• the !opinion ,:at many are more appetizing. The bun- - ni es un-°-hies are edsilygrown 'and the boys and girls` usually 'like to care- for them. Weighing franc four to six pounds dressed, a tame rabbit makes a meal for a -good-sized family., And when well baked,' fried, or fricasseed is real- ly deliciou.s. A hutch for housing the rabbit is easily constructed. Not much room is needed. All that is required is to have a well ventilated poop which the rabbits can not get out of,-with'a dark corner where the doe can make a nest for her young. The rabbits can be cheaply fed on clover, garden vegetables; and many kinds of weeds. They especially relish mock or dandelion or any Other tender plant. Seme'grain '(oats is best), hay Or skim milk Is needed to balance the ration. The young ones thrive es- pecially well on oatmeal, #hough this. is more expensive. There is more danger of over -feeding than under-. feeding. Each doe .will producea litter of from at least five to tenoung about y g b t even` six weeks. ' Y An Accident.

Dr. S. Monkton Copeman, of the. British Ministry of Health, has been making. an investigation at the Car- thusian.Monastery at Cowfold, near Horsham, : Sussex. He states . that so far as he' -has been able to ascertain, the nioriks there appeared to be extra- ordinarily -healthy. ' He pointed out that no meat was eaten in the monas- tery, but the monits 'eat a great deal of fruit and vegetables. Green' salads are among the ,most `important items' of their diet: Like the monks on the continent they also make large dietary use of dandelion and chicory. "There is no doubt," said Dr. Cope- man, "that middle-aged people should = g p P eat plenty; of fruit and vegetables like the monks. Most of the ` monks at Cowfold• are middle -aa -ed but' there are some old ones. 'I saw one who is nearly a hundred years old employed. y a on carting stones." Dr. Copeman addedthat c nvent s are not so free from disease -and that ,there is •-a good deal of consumption in convents, espe- cially, in the very 'poor;w es. The pro- curator of the .monastery states that the,ministry has begun: a, detailed ;study of the .dietary habits of the monks with a view to applying their fruitarian principles to the treatment of cancer. The opinion, is steadily gaining ground among :medical auth- orities that the ; kind of food we eat has . a great influence :, on our health and our freedom .from or susceptibil- ity to disease. Di-. Adam Wright, Chairman of the Provincial Board of Health, Ontario, has given this matter 'of diet as a preventive of cancer; much thought. He holds tho opinion and' it is gaining of 'intes- ground, that the prevention tinal? stasis is an important factor in the prevention of stomach and intes- tinal cancers. • As cancer seems to be increasing in this country, according to statistics. it is readily seen that the question of diet in fighting this ,dreadful malady important. is extremely im p • BA Y'SO TABLETS �I6/J�l'� W 1 lTi` ALWAYS KEPT ON ND Mrs. David 'Gagne, St. Godfrey, Que., writes:-t'I have used Baby's Own Tablets for, my three little ones and. have found them such an 'excellent medicine thatI always keep them on hand and would strongly ; advise all other mothers to do the same thing."

Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy • importation of poor .quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India. started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized: their superiority and demanded them . in ever increas- ing quantities. Shcada Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green .Teas in Canada. - If You Would Be a"Bankrupt- In friendship, live for yourself alone.

The spectator, is then asked to deal three heaps ' of cards on the' table, the same' number of cards to be in each of the. heaps. While this is' being' done the performer turns his back so that he cannot see how many • eard s are dealt. His back still: turned, be directs the spectator to transfer Cards, from one heap to another, continuing until there are in the middle heap ''cards equal to ' the number montioned by the slice, tater: This is done in this manner: 'Tie trickster asks. the spectator to take three cards from ,each .of the side heaps and put them on the middle heap. The spectator is then to count the number of cards remaining in the loft hand heap. She 16 to remove that number from the middle heap •and put them on the rights hand -heap.
